About Me

I’m a writer based in western Massachusetts. I was born and raised in New Jersey and lived in New York City for seven years. I am the daughter of Chilean immigrants.

I received my MFA from NYU. I am a 2022 LitUp Fellow, and I have been a juried fellow at the Saltonstall Arts Colony. I have also attended VONA/Voices of Our Nations. I’m a member of the Sobremesa book club, a tiny, beautiful community in the Pioneer Valley.

I am currently finishing my debut novel about the Chilean dictatorship. You can check out some of my other writing here.

I believe books can change your heart. (They’ve changed mine.)
